Please help! I have spent almost all day on this. I have uploaded few test images successfully, but when I am trying to open my gallery (www.rosalyn-photography.com/gallery) i see blank page. If I will show direct path to the picture it opens it.
It is driving me mad!

If somebody helps I will be very grateful.

This is an Apache Error Log:

PHP Fatal error: main() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'classes.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/pear') in /home/default/rosalyn-photography.com/user/htdocs/gallery/zp-core/template-functions.php on line 8

please please please help me!

Sounds like you did not get the files of the release uploaded. Check that all the files have been copied to the zp-core folder.

I have deleted everything and reinstalled again. Still same issue.

http://www.rosalyn-photography.com/gallery/index.php?album=test
gives blank page.

http://www.rosalyn-photography.com/gallery/albums/
gives me a "Forbidden" warning.

http://www.rosalyn-photography.com/gallery/albums/test/Bride1.jpg
opens the image.

Any ideas how can make it all work?

just for the record:

.htaccess is amended and copied in "gallery" folder.
Albums and cache are set to 777.
zp_config.php is changed too... like have ben asked.

It looks to me i'm doing it all right, but it don't want to work...
I am going mental here.....

Is the path correct within htaccess?
Are you really sure your ISP provides mod_rewrite?
Does it work without the htaccess file?

this is what i have in htaccess:

`# htaccess file for zenphoto

NOTE: Change the RewriteBase below to the absolute path to your zenphoto directory.

RewriteEngine Off

!!! Change this to the web path (eg: http://www.yourwebsite.com/photos --> /photos) !!!

RewriteBase /gallery

RewriteRule ^admin/?$ zp-core/admin.php [R,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [NC,OR]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d [NC]

RewriteRule ^.*$ - [R,L]

RewriteRule index.php$ index.php [L,QSA]

RewriteRule ^page/([0-9]+)/?$ index.php?page=$1 [L,QSA]

RewriteRule ^page/([A-Za-z0-9-_]+)/?$ index.php?p=$1 [L,QSA]

RewriteRule ^(.*)/page/([0-9]+)/?$ index.php?album=$1&page=$2 [L,QSA]

Rewrite rule addtion for seach

RewriteRule ^page/([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/?$ index.php?p=$1&words=$2 [L,QSA]

RewriteRule ^page/([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/([0-9]+)/?$ index.php?p=$1&words=$2&page=$3 [L,QSA]

Rewrite rule addtion for archive-/date-search (needed to be separarted because of the same structur)

RewriteRule ^page/([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/archive/([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/?$ index.php?p=$1&date=$2 [L,QSA]

RewriteRule ^page/([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/archive/([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/([0-9]+)/?$ index.php?p=$1&date=$2&page=$3 [L,QSA]

RewriteRule ^(.*)/image/(thumb|[0-9]{1,4})/([^/]+)$ zp-core/i.php?a=$1&i=$3&s=$2 [L,QSA]

RewriteRule ^(.*)/image/([^/]+)$ zp-core/i.php?a=$1&i=$2 [L,QSA]

Catch-all - everything else gets handled in PHP for compatibility.

RewriteRule ^(.*)/?$ index.php?album=$1 [L,QSA]

`

it doesn't work if I change "RewriteEngine Off" to "RewriteEngine On"
and it doesn't work if i delete htaccess either.

i am not sure if my ISP provides mod_rewrite

i have just checked: mod_rewrite is in the list of loaded modules.

i am baffled.

can anybody help? or point where the problem may lie.

In my error log it keeps showing this:

any ideas what does it mean???

There is some kind of server security enabled on your website. You probably will have to contact your provider to figure out what it is and how to fix it.

The messages above are saying that the zenphoto scripts are not within the "blessed" file paths so they are being denied doing something.
